{diy confetti art}

Recently I needed to buy a frame for a gift and I conveniently found it at Aaron Brothers during their 5 cent sale. Which meant I was able to pick up a 24 inch square box canvas along with the frame I needed for free! I was originally thinking I might mount some photos on it using this previous post as inspiration. Instead I was inspired by some Kate Spade dinnerware - see above. I picked up some metallic gold cardstock and glitter paper then used my 2-inch circle punch to create the confetti. I placed it haphazardly around the white canvas and secured it with spray adhesive.

This entire project took me maybe 15 minutes! It would look even better if I had taken the time to paint the canvas since our walls are white and a little color would have made it pop more. This would make a great gift for someone's birthday; I would love to see it as multicolored confetti on an even bigger canvas!

LOVE this idea!! I am beyond obsessed with the kate spade gold polka-dot dishes (crossing my fingers they are still available when it comes time to register for my wedding!). I have to do this project before summer is over - thanks :)

I laid out newspaper and put all the "dots" upside down and sprayed them with the spray adhesive. Then placed them randomly around the canvas. The spray adhesive wont dry immediately but if you want to take your time placing them then I would spray 4 or 5 at a time and then place.

I wish I would have read this yesterday lol...I sprayed the entire canvas :( and my dots are lifting because I didn't want to over load the canvas with glue...perhaps I will add some glitter dust for texture and reglue my dots.

Natalie! I love this so much. I just did 2 for my bedroom. I did 3 golds(one matte, one shiny, and one sparkly). They turned out so great. Graphic and modern yet delicate and feminine at the same time. I love your blog. You really have a fabulous place! I only hope mine can look as good one day!

I am new to crafting so please bare with me. In the pictures above (#2 & #3) there appears to be another circle under the glitter/gold cardstock, does it come like that or are we supposed to add another layer of cardstock?

Hmmmmmmm..... I was thinking about just framing about 12 different pieces of scrapbook paper over my bed as a headboard. But now I think I might just get 3 larger canvases and use the paper to make dots on all three. THANKS FOR THE IDEA!!!

Hey I know it has been a while, but I wanted to link you to the pictures of my finished canvas.. I did a big one with multi color dots and linked your blog's tutorial! Thanks so much for the idea http://baking4therapy.blogspot.com/2012/01/jonathan-adler-dinning-room-on-budget.html

Hello! I saw your idea on Pinterest and thought I would give it a try. I made one on a 24" X 24" piece of canvas...with lots more circles. I am actually going to auction it off at the 2012 JDRF Charity Event this year. I thought it would might just raise money to find a cure for kids with diabetes. Thank you for your creative inspiration. This was so easy and fun to make. Check it out: http://pinterest.com/pin/256423772503415375/

I love it! I've tried something similar recently, but I used different colored stickers. The result was quite interesting. If you want to take a look here:http://www.anzouya.com/2012/09/a-different-kind-of-painting.html
